"Good" and "pricy" developement environment for c++

[Petterson Mikael]

Hi,

We are today into RoseRT. We are not very satisfied with the environment
( speed, control and complexity). Today RoseRt generates about 40-60%
of the code.

Q1: Is it possible to move to another IDE?
Q2: What IDE is a good alternative?
Q3: What problems are we likely to run into when going to another tool?

Cheers,

//mikael

Until now, I've never used some tool to generate C++ code. We once used
Borland Together, but only to understand existing code, not to generate
or modify. But its help was limited. I used the GUI-Builder of Matlab once.

I can not see a significant advantage in using such a tool. Why did you
decide to use one? Please do not get me wrong: I do not mean to
criticise you nor to imply there might not be an advantage. Just being
curious.

Anyone else got an opinion on this?

I like the speed of using visual gui editors for simple forms. It is
quite easy to get too complex for them though and the code they
generate isn't usually the cleanest.

Did this in matlab twice. The Code was buggy, because it took really
long before I found out how to use everything involved properly. Did it
in Java by hand. Took time, but in the end I knew how everything worked
and how to use everything properly. But the OP mentioned generation of
about 50% of the code. I just can't figure out in what situations you
can have that much generated code.

Btw: Is your situation about GUIs, Mikael?

No we only do server code.
